Oooopsy!
No actual hacking was involved. These idiots gave away their user names and passwords to someone over the phone.
All I use are prepaid credit cards... Not much damage that can be inflicted on me. Unless they somehow fuck up package delivery, I guess.
I use prepaid credit cards, prepaid cell phones, and disposable email accounts when I travel. That way not much can be lost to thieves (official or otherwise).
What's pathetic here is that the hackers got into eBay by using social engineering techniques on eBay employees.
That's actually a typical vector used more often than you'd think. Targeted trojans, spear phishing, or leaving infected USB keys lying around are also quite successful.
That's why you give people as few permissions as they need.
